Margaret Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm new to this site. I woke up one morning two years ago deaf in my left ear. Apparently nerve damage from a virus. Within a week of my loss, Covid lockdowns began, so I feel like it has been hard to judge the impact on my life. I tried a cross hearing aid to send sound to my right ear for a few months, but it did not seem to improve my hearing that much and was very uncomfortable. Medicare won't pay for a cochlear implant for single sided loss. I'm considering a Bonebridge but am interested in knowing how much help it would be in real-life hearing situations. The MRI compatibility issue is kind of a problem, as I have been recommended to have one annually and the machines in common use are twice as strong as the Bonebridge will tolerate.

Travis Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 The Bonebridge/Samba system is for conductive hearing loss, not sensorineural hearing loss, so it would not be very effective for you, I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
